ac5e5179fb options: rename 'highlightcolor' to the more distinct 'spotlightcolor'

something actually useful.  To not lose the Refresh function that this

and refresh of the screen.

d4ee6a2b53 options: rename --tempfile to --saveonexit, to be far clearer 
A long option should describe what it does, not vaguely hint at it.

Also, in several places of nano's code we deal with actual temp files,
and then having a flag called TEMP_FILE that doesn't have anything to
do with temp files is somewhat confusing.
